Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The annual reporting and recordkeeping hour burden listed on Item 13 of the Rule 17a-7 OMB Form 83-I is 11 hours less than the current OMB inventory of 65 hours. The decrease represents an adjustment of the number of respondents from 65 to 54. The cost burden increased due to the increase in the reported hourly wages of a Compliance Manager, due to an increase from 1.35 to 5.35 in the multiplier that the Commission uses to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead in calculating hourly wages for purposes of PRA cost burdens.
